Western Area Urban has continued to top Mpox infection cases at an alarming rate, hitting 1659 in the latest government update.

Falaba and Karene remain the districts with the lowest cases (four each in the last one month).

Bombali is topping the provincial record, sitting at 132 with Port Loko in the second spot at 57.

Experts say sexual intercourse has been the main driver of the incidental human-to-human spread of the virus.

As cases escalate, people are scrambling for the Mpox vaccines, which are in short supply for even the high-risk population.
